Choosing Circus Acts for Corporate Events

“Circus” and “corporate” are two words that no one will usually expect to find in the same sentence. However, with the change in the age group that makes up the bulk of today’s work force, corporate bodies are changing their tact so as to get the best from them.

Millennials are not like Baby Boomers or Generation Xers. Studies have shown that what drives them is totally different from what motivated and drove previous generations. The idea of a stiff, corporate setting is certainly one of the things that have been noted as a no-no for this generation.

The ability to relax and create fun environments at work is one of the major requirements for improved productivity. Forbes describes this as a focus on work-life balance. The millennial workforce wants to have it all – work and fun. You can read about it here. To this end, fun events are certainly encouraged and what could be more fun than having a circus show at a corporate event?

Benefits of Corporate Circus Acts

Why would anyone want to bring circus acts to a corporate event? Well, there is a child in all of us that needs to be let loose every now and again. That said, let us look at a few benefits that having circus acts can bring to a corporate event.

Sometimes it is important to put away the suits and ties, don something casual and just feel and be different.

Examples of Corporate Circus Acts

So, what kinds of circus acts can be brought to a corporate event?

You will be shocked at all the different types of acts that performers put up at these events these days. Let’s look at a few examples.

Fire Performers

There are all kinds of fire performances you can enjoy. You can have fire juggling, fire breathing, fire dancing and many others. These acts are performed by experts who of course are usually fully insured.

Acrobats

These acts can be presented as solos or group acts. Whichever you opt for, you will find them highly riveting and often nerve racking acrobatic acts that will have your heart dropping to the floor a number of times.

Jugglers

Juggling sounds pretty mundane right? Well, wait unto you’ve seen some professional jugglers then you will understand that juggling can be an amazing act.

Aerial Dancers

These can be breathtaking. These acts are similar to the acrobat’s act but are actual dancing routines performed mid-air with carefully setup props. Some will even offer aerial fire dancers too.

LED Glow Shows

This act will be a total hit at corporate events. It is much like fire dancing, but rather than fire, these acts use LED lights that offer immense opportunities for creative expressions. Imagine having your company’s logo, event sponsors and other designs coming to life on stage.

Champaign Reception

Now picture this; a floating table of filled Champaign glasses gliding around the room. This act serves two purposes – it provides visual entertainment and also actually serves your guests very stylishly.

These are just a few ideas. There are a lot more that you can choose from and you can of course have a special package that includes multiple acts.

How to Find a Corporate Circus Act

So how does one go about finding a company that can provide these services at a corporate event?

 Thankfully, this is not as difficult as you may think. You can actually find and book a number of these companies online.

A good example is the Circus Uncertainty website which not only lists all the acts that the company offers, but also provides suggestions on the shows or acts that will best fit certain events. Discussing with a circus company before committing to any act or selection of acts will therefore be a great idea.

Circus act companies offer customized packages specially designed for events and specific customers. Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

Give your staff a surprisingly fun and amazing time by booking an amazing circus show for that next company ball or training retreat. You will be amazed at how much fun you also will have and how much improvement it will bring about in your workers’ overall performance.
